How giant is giant?

I've seen tens of thousands of lines of code compile in 30 minutes.

I've seen a hundred thousand lines of code compile in 2 minutes.

It really depends on how the project is laid out. If you're using lots of header-only libraries and try to compile monolithically (like soooooo many C++ applications do these days), you're going to have a bad (compile) time.



tens of thousands? that's small. we're talking MLOCs here.
